Chapter 673: A Critical Moment!

Ramon Sessions played the game he wanted. I played the rhythm I wanted.

Stepping onto the free-throw line, Sessions hit the free throw safely.

This time it was 2+1.

Sessions quickly played the game he wanted, not only scoring first to bring the team to the momentum of the counterattack, but also quickly connecting his teammates to forge ahead.

Organize the big picture. Lead the team on a counter-attack.

What Sessions has done during this time has been a complete surprise, and that's what a star should do. And now the Knicks' star Chen Jiyuan can't play for other reasons, and now Sessions has replaced Chen Jiyuan's existence. Interim team leader.

Sessions for the time being is doing a very good job.

Sessions led the team to chase the score back little by little. With 55 seconds left in the game, the Knicks were only three points behind.

At this time, Sessions hit a three-pointer in Nelson's head, and the two sides were tied. The score was 88:88.

At this point, the outcome is completely unknown.

The person who helped the Knicks do this was all Sessions.

Whether it's Stephen Jackson or Iguodala, these two veterans don't have the ability to be a leading player, to take charge of the team, and to save the team and desperate situations when it matters most.

Sessions' performance once again conquered the hearts of all the fans and all the scouts. At the end of the season, the battle for Sessions will also be fierce. Although many people feel that Sessions has no reason to leave the Knicks, the Knicks will definitely give Sessions a contract that satisfies Sessions. Moreover, Sessions also refused to let his agent contact any team, saying that he could focus all his attention on this year's playoffs.

So, after the end of the season, Sessions will really start to choose his future team.

Until now, Sessions has not revealed any intention of not renewing his contract with the Knicks. As a result, most people speculate that Sessions will sign a big contract extension with the Knicks and then continue to play in New York.

No one could have imagined that Sessions might leave New York.

Of course, there are many teams who will not believe that Sessions is impossible to leave, and many people believe that there is nothing that cannot be done in this matter, only something that cannot be done.

So, now it looks like it's very likely that Sessions will stay in New York, and they'll do their best to recruit Sessions after the season.

And at that time, everyone will know how seriously Sessions wants to leave New York. Or leave the mind of the Knicks, leave the mind of Chen Jiyuan,

After Sessions hit a three-pointer, there were 43 seconds left in the game. It's basically a chance for a team to attack.

The Magic's offense was still given to Howard. And the responsibility of defending Howard is still handed over to Lefou.

By the time the ball was handed to Howard, there were only 12 seconds left to attack.

Howard received the ball with his back, then turned around and prepared to face the frame.

Howard pivoted with his left foot, turned his body, and then leaned right with his right foot. After a false shot, Howard made a quick jumper shot.

At such a critical moment, Love has Howard will definitely choose to grasp the bigger inside shot. Unexpectedly, Howard dared to shoot a mid-range jumper at this time.

Love himself didn't guard against Howard's jump shot, so the defense of the ball was half a beat slower, and it was this half beat that allowed Howard to shoot the ball into the basket.

There are 26 seconds left in the clock. It's quite enough for the Knicks to organize a full offense. But when you're two points behind, the pressure is on the Knicks.

Thibodeau asked for a timeout. to lay out this tactic.

Thibodeau doesn't intend to put the treasure on the inside of Loaf and Ibaka. Instead, he chose to let Iguodal pull the ball.

Although Thibodeau also knew that Sessions was performing very well, his inherent thinking made Thibodeau still believe even more in Iguodala, a veteran who has proven himself in the league for many years.

No one can say who can shoot and who can't, it's just an attack, there is no such thing as right or wrong.

Chen Jiyuan grabbed Ibaka and Lefu here, and kept telling them, don't let the two of you relax just because you are an outside player. Covering your opponent is a must. After taking cover, don't stand still and watch. Remember, hurry up and get inside and fight for this rebound. Whether you have a rebound or not, you both have to grab the position, and if you have a rebound, it's a life-saving rebound. Remember no, don't stand still and watch the play. Absolutely, never, don't stand stupid.

The game is back on.

Sessions clearly didn't intend to run out of time. Generally, in this kind of backward situation, most teams will still choose to shoot early. Only people like Chen Jiyuan, who are so confident in his own offense that there are no bounds, will be relatively inclined to choose to attack at the last moment.

Ibaka and Love both came up, Love blocked Sessions and Ibaka helped Iguodala cover, Iguodala received the ball, dribbled a step, and directly made a jumper. The ball slowly flew away from Iguodala's hand.

The two people here, Lefu and Ibaka, did follow Chen Jiyuan's words, and quickly rushed into the inner line, entangled with Howard and Gortat.

Iguodala shot the ball was a bit rushed, and with Carter's interference, the result was deflected.

However, Lefou, who was on the inside, really stuck Gortat and successfully grabbed the rebound.

After Lefu grabbed the ball, he wanted to jump quickly and hit this second attack, but Howard on this side reacted quickly, and directly knocked Lefu downstairs, and didn't let Lefou's ball fly out of his hand at all.

A direct foul is to send a blessing to the free throw line. Otherwise, such a second attack, as long as it is not a fool, can be hit.

Love walked to the free throw line, stabilized his mind well, tried not to think about the ball as the ball that decided the outcome of the game, forgot as much as possible that he was in the playoffs, and forgot as much as possible the pressure of losing if he didn't score.

Taking a deep breath, Lefu was about to throw this ball, as soon as he shot, Lefu felt that it was going to be broken, this ball, Lefu felt it the moment he shot, it was too stiff.

Sure enough, I'm still nervous.

I can't forget it as much as possible. In such a crucial game, the pressure is self-evident, and it is not so simple to withstand.

Sure enough, the first ball hit the back edge of the hoop and popped out.

Lefu was very annoyed.

There's also a free throw, though. Iguodala and Stephen Jackson both walked up to Lefou's side and said a few words to Lefou, mainly to tell Lefu not to be too psychologically stressed. It's okay.

Lefou's second free throw, in fact, felt a little wrong, but fortunately, he was lucky and jumped in.

89:90。

The Knicks trailed by one point with just 15 seconds left in the game. At this time, foul has become the only option.

It's a pity that the Magic gave free throws to Carter, and after Carter was fouled, he walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws steadily. In the end, he was once a powerful figure in the alliance.

I won't panic when I encounter such a situation, it's still so stable.

89:92。

The Knicks still have a three-point opportunity.

Thibodeau chose to let Sessions shoot the three-pointer this time. After all, Sessions had just hit a three-pointer to tie the score.

Love and Ibaka's double screen, so that Sessions appeared a three-point opportunity, even if it is a double cover, this opportunity is very bad, after all, at this time, the Magic team is also desperate not to let you successfully shoot three-pointers.

Sessions received a free throw from Stephen Jackson and shot a three-pointer.

Unfortunately, Sessions' life-saving goal was also deflected. This time, Carter on the inside protected the rebound, and then quickly ran all the way forward.

After halftime, Carter didn't plan to attack, but hung back and forth outside the three-point line, because the Knicks already had Iguodala back on the inside.

The Knicks had no choice but to foul Carter again.

Carter just doesn't feel any pressure at all.

At this time, Howard had the first season this season, and the Magic management did something right.

The reason why I think this way is because Howard is imagining what the consequences will be if he walks on this free throw line at this time, uh, after simulating it in his head. Howard just hehe,

Even though Howard in this world is much better than Howard in that world, it has only increased from 50 percent to 70 percent. Or does this mean that under normal circumstances, if it is a critical moment, it may be lower.

Carter hit both free throws again.

Sessions tried to make a three-pointer again, but there was little chance and the Knicks didn't take a timeout. From the back court to the first half, after shooting a three-pointer, the ball went in. But the red light was on. The game is over.

The score was fixed at 92:94.

The Magic picked up their first win of the series. On their own home turf.

The fans were excited, and the Knicks left the place lonely.

Chen Jiyuan stood up and high-fived his teammates who came back one by one. When Iguodala, Sessions, and Lefu passed by him, Chen Jiyuan would say, "Thank you for taking on this responsibility." ”

No matter what state of mind he said this, I don't know what the people who hear it will think, but Chen Jiyuan really thinks so.

Chen Jiyuan just wanted to comfort his teammates, that's all.
